Borrowing vs. Selling $1M3

  1. Unicorn Index uses median metrics of 206 VC-funded companies with valuations over $1B & exit events (IPO, SPAC, merger, acquisition) 1/1/00-9/30/22. Source: Pitchbook.
  2. Compound Annual Growth Rate
  3. Equity value at exit of a shareholder who sold shares vs. borrowed, to access $1M when the company was first valued over $1B.

  • Sell scenario: liquidate sufficient shares from an initial $5M position to receive $1M in cash (net of 30% tax rate with 20% cost basis and 3% broker fee).

  • Borrow scenario: take a 20% LTV loan on an initial $5M position with 10% interest and 2.5% origination fee.
